Yes, a better error message sure would be nice. Surprising, Rexx is usually better about such things!
ISTR that even PL/I gives a coherent message if you hit its maximum. (384-yes, that's too many, although we hit it in a pathological case, where we were passing tuples of three or four things each. So while it's too many for sanity, it was useful as an illustration; we were setting our own implementation limit of 100 tuples, as "way more than you should ever need".) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
